I've bought the two army books for Field of Glory Napoleonic.
The main rules are Vol I. Volume II is Triumph of Nations,covering 1809 to 1815. Volume III is Eagles And Emperors, covering 1792 to 1807.
Think about that. Specifically consider when I put them on my bookshelf.
These are not just hope for wargamers, but NAPOLEONIC wargamers the gamers other wargamers go "calm down mate, its just a game".
These people are monsters.
Pity the rules died in the competition set up, they had potential, but...
They felt wrong!
Meh! Nothing of note happened in 1808 ;)

I thought there were a few frontier scraps between the Egyptians and the Nubians.
Well, with the death of Amenemhat III in that year a little unrest among the Nubian tribes was to be expected :)
I'm going for the writers being the dishonourable sons of a thousand fathers.
Even if nothing happened in 1808 (which is not true), my OCD wouldn't allow me to permit that missing year. I suggest you put the books in a locked box, and only open it after a period of meditation and/or whisky.
Unless of course, there will be an 1808 supplement?
No doubt they will make that volume 5...
Actually 1808 is covered in vol 3 at the end "other theatres of war", including the Peninsula and the East.
But how do you put them on the shelf? Volume I (the rules) is OK, but do you put the others in series order or chronological order? :- :d
That was sort of my point, derailed by people worrying about 1808.
As the volume numbers are on the spine, in that order.
Shelve by Classification Number (Dewey Decimal, Library of Congress or other system of choice) then by Series Title, then Date of Publication, Volume Number or Part Title in that order.
Or so I was taught a millenia or so ago when I was at Library College.
So, in your case, Vol 1, Vol 2, Vol 3
Simples :)
But but but
They will be in the wrong order!
Flipping 'eck, somebody seems to need a copy of the Little Book of Calm.
I had it. Didn't know whether to put it under L for little or C for Calm.
What about putting them upside down? Then they count back from 1815 to 1792 :d
This is getting far too SILLY !!!"!!!
Quite agree, quite agree, too silly, too silly....
